Panel structure

Abstract

A panel structure attachable to a wall, or ceiling. The panel structure may be used to mount shelf holders and utilizes a first member having first and second sides. The first side of the first member contacts the wall. A shelf standard is included for providing support for shelf holders. A backing member positions to the second side of the first member and to the shelf standard. Fastening of the backing member to the shelf standard and to the first member forms a unit. A second member, generally positioned angularly relative to the first member is positioned adjacent the backing member. Facia elements are fastened to the second member and lie adjacent the shelf standard which extends through the facia element.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A panel structure attachable to a wall and for mounting shelf holders, comprising; a. a first member having a first side and an opposite second side, said first side intended for attachment to the wall;   b. a shelf standard intended for providing support for shelf holders;   c. a backing member positioned adjacent said second side of said first member and supporting said shelf standard;   d. first fastening means for uniting said shelf standard, said backing member, and said first member into a unit;   e. a second member positioned adjacent said backing member;   f. second fastening means for connecting said second member to said first member; and   g. a plurality of facia elements mounted to said second member and lying adjacent said shelf standard, a pair of said plurality of said facia elements forming a gap therebetween permitting access to said shelf standard.   
     
     
       2. The structure of claim 1 in which said second member is positioned closer to said second side of said first member than said first side of said first member. 
     
     
       3. The structure of claim 2 in which said second member is angularly oriented relative to said first member. 
     
     
       4. The structure of claim 3 in which each of said plurality of facia elements are spaced from one another to form a multiplicity of gaps. 
     
     
       5. The structure of claim 4 in which said first fastening means includes a plurality of fasteners each penetrating said shelf standard, said backing member and said first member. 
     
     
       6. The structure of claim 1 in which said backing member includes a first part and a second part spaced from said first part forming a hiatus therebetween. 
     
     
       7. The structure of claim 6 in which said second member is positioned closer to said second side of said first member than said first side of said first member. 
     
     
       8. The structure of claim 7 in which said second member is angularly oriented relative to said first member. 
     
     
       9. The structure of claim 8 in which each of said plurality of facia elements are spaced from one another to form a multiplicity of gaps. 
     
     
       10. The structure of claim 9 in which said first fastening means includes a plurality of fasteners each penetrating said shelf standard, said backing member and said first member.
